PRO-PER development

The project will consist of two training courses, organized in the autumn and winter 2015, approximately 2 months apart.

The goal of both TCs will be to bring together youth workers/leaders/trainers/project organizers as well as youth volunteers and unemployed youth from different EU and neighbouring countries with the purpose of empowering them and equipping them with skills needed in order to tackle the subject/problem of youth un-employability from a holistic perspective, focusing on a PERsonal as well as PROfessional development of unemployed young people.

To achieve this goal, the participants of both TCs will be immersed in a learning experience which will not focus merely on transfer of knowledge, but also on increasing their engagement and establishing a view of themselves as active creators of their own life situation.

During the TC-s which will both last for 7 days, participants will be actively involved and by way of active involvement, sharing of experiences and personal development, will be able to internalise the learning process which they will later be able and encouraged to transfer also to unemployed youngsters in their local communities and participants of their youth projects, therefore acting as active multipliers of the PRO-PER learning experience.

Hopefully participants attending the autumn TC will be able to attend also the winter TC, so that the learning experience will be a wholesome one. However, this will not be obligatory and organizations can choose different individuals to attend the two TCs, as long as they fit the criteria described below, in the project summary.
